Josh yawned, ignored it, and turned over: “Thank you for helping me draw the curtains, good people will have a peaceful life.”

She closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

The humming sound from the phonograph paused for a moment, then quickly resumed its rhythm.

Josh closed his eyes and soon fell asleep again to the soothing humming.

phonograph:"……"

The shadow continued to spread from under the phonograph, approaching Josh's direction.

Josh felt a dip next to the sofa.

She opened her eyes and saw a pair of bloody faces with hideous smiles.

Qiao Xi raised his foot and kicked, and the female ghost fell to the ground with a thud.

Only then did she withdraw her foot in disgust and grabbed a blanket from the end of the sofa to cover herself.

The shadow was not satisfied and was about to move closer.

Josh closed his eyes and said lazily: “Don’t come near me, you’re freezing.”

The room fell into silence, with only the gramophone singing softly.

The fire in the fireplace grew smaller and smaller, and something crawled down the chimney, revealing a hideous, pale hand with scarlet nail polish on its fingers.

As the hand continued to move downward, the fire in the fireplace grew dimmer.

The indoor temperature is also dropping.

Josh made an impatient “tsk” sound and opened his eyes sharply.

The interior returned to normal.

The bed curtains were not drawn, the gramophone was not playing, the fireplace was burning warmly, and the weather outside the window was overcast.

But I don’t know when the window was opened, and the cold wind blew in.

Josh coughed twice and stood up to close the window.

She closed the window and went back to the sofa.

Didn't you notice that there was a large bunch of long hair hanging down from the top of the head and spreading to the ground under the curtain next to you?

Josh was disturbed and couldn't sleep, so he just got up and explored the room boredly.

The room was not big, but unlike Room 4 where she had lived before, this room was more like a man's room, with a dull black and gray interior.

Even the blanket on the floor was black.

Josh opened the drawer of the bedside table and saw a group photo.

This is a photo of a young man and woman. Although it is called a photo, it is actually a miniature oil painting. The man in the painting is dressed exactly like the man she saw on the table in the study, and he also has no face.

"Do you like him too?" The ghost girl's sad voice suddenly came from behind: "But, he is mine."

Josh sensed the danger behind him, drew out his long knife and slashed in the direction of the female ghost.

The ghost girl's body was instantly cut in half.

She screamed, completely enraged, and her two halves of her body rushed towards Qiao Xi with bared fangs and claws.

The cold blade of the knife flashed, and the female ghost was cut into seven pieces.

She sobbed and cried, "You are such a rude woman, His Highness will not like you."

Qiao Xi lifted her head and put it on the coffee table: "Are you familiar with that Prince Ceci?"

The woman glared at her fiercely and said, "Don't even think about finding out anything about His Highness Ceci from me!"

Josh smiled and said, "That's fine."

She stabbed the ghost's head with a knife and moved it towards the fireplace.

The ghost girl screamed in fear: "What are you going to do?! I'm warning you! If you dare to destroy my hair, I will kill you!"

"Understood. Burn the hair first." Josh nodded obediently, picked up the hair on the back of her head and threw it into the fireplace.

A large area of ​​hair was burnt on the spot.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I'm telling you! I'll answer whatever you ask! Don't you want to know about His Highness Ceci? His Highness Ceci and I are the best friends!"

Qiao Xi took back the two remaining strands of her hair and said, "If you had been so good earlier, everything would have been fine."

Two streaks of blood and tears flowed down the ghost girl's face.

Josh placed her head next to the fireplace: "Who are you and what is your relationship with Cece?"

The female ghost glared at her in protest: "It's His Highness Ceci!"

Under Qiao Xi's cold eyes, the ghost girl had to compromise: "I am a maid in the castle, my name is Sophie, and I am responsible for cleaning His Highness's study."

"His Highness comes to the study to read every day and drinks the black tea I brew myself. He likes me very much. He often praises my good looks and my bright eyes, and even says that he wants me to be his lover..."

Sophie had a shy look on her face.

Josh frowned slightly: “Then you are still dead?”

Sophie glared at her, but dared not speak, and answered patiently: "It was because I was weak and sickly that I died of complications during childbirth after I became pregnant with Your Highness's child. Your Highness was sad for a long time because of my death."

Josh raised an eyebrow: "You and he had a child together?"

Sophie nodded shyly: "Of course!"

As if she had thought of something, she glared at Qiao Xi angrily: "It's all your fault! You took my child away!"

Josh blinked innocently: “When did I catch your child?”

Sophie was so angry that she almost jumped up holding her head. "You still say no! If you hadn't captured my child, why would I have followed you here? You just twisted my daughter's head off in the underground wine cellar!"

Josh's mouth twitched slightly: "Is that your daughter?"

Female ghost: “Of course!”

Josh: "That's a doll. It can only move when it is controlled by your ghost energy."

"That's my daughter! The daughter of Her Highness Sisi and I!" Sophie's expression was very excited. Blood was oozing out of her bloody eye sockets, and black air was overflowing with it. It was indeed a bit similar to the black eye sockets of the ghost doll.

There was frost condensing under her head, and the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.

Qiao Xi raised his hand and tapped her head "gently" with the spare firewood beside him: "Calm down, don't refrigerate it. If you do it again, I will arrest you and send you to the chef to be a refrigerator. Will you have to face those raw meat and bones every day?"
